Ok, we all know that December is almost here....So if you haven't thought of your Holiday gifts yet, take a peek below. I've gathered some cool (possible) gifts for that special MAN or WOMAN in your life!

On the other hand, if you're single - go ahead & get yourself something nice this Holiday season! Why not?!?

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We are thankful for many things & even though my life hasn't been perfect, (is anyone's?) I can't complain.

I've always thought it was important to show gratitude in everyday life & NOT just on Holidays! When someone opens a door for you, KINDLY say thank you. If a person pays for your meal, say thank you - you get the picture. Small things DO make an impact, whether we seem them that very moment or not.

On that note, my amazing guy has prepared the Thanksgiving menu for this year - which I'm truly thankful for. I let him do his thing because trust me, he's got skills!

For now, I'd like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Here's a sneak peek into what we're having tomorrow - feel free to comment & also tell me what you'll be having as well!

I'd love to read what you've planned for tomorrow. For now, I'm signing off, but may pop in during the weekend, if not, then Monday!

Family in town?? Just you & your hubby? kids? Going to a friends/families house? Having Turkey or not????

CHRIST TAKES THE BREAD, BLESSED IT, BROKE IT, AND GAVE IT UNTO THE DISCIPLES. HE THEN TOOK THE CUP AND GAVE THANKS, AND GAVE IT TO THE DISCIPLES. AFTER THE SUPPER, THEY SUNG A HYMN AND DEPARTED TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES. Matthew 26: 26-29

Hello everyone! Ahhhh I've been terribly busy today - shooting some of the new accessories we're adding to Made By Girl- exciting but exhausting! On another note, so happy that Thanksgiving is quickly approaching on Thursday! I've thought about all the things I'm thankful for & boy do I have a looooong list.

In a PERFECT world, this is what I'd be wearing at our Thanksgiving table while telling everyone what I'm thankful for. So, yes, this would be the PERFECT Thanksgiving outfit - STYLISH, trendy & with a splash of color! Also, great for the chilly weather we've been having at night, 40 degreeeeees!!

Have you thought about what you're grateful for?? What will you be wearing this Thanksgiving?!?

Katie Ridder is known for fantastic interiors. Her trademark approach to mixing antique and modern pieces, strong colors with artful patterns, and a wide array of ethnic styles is a hallmark of elegant interior design.

Heather Smith MacIsaac's book "Katie Ridder Rooms" published by Vendome is 235 pages of luscious interiors in rich, full-color photos with lots of narrative, complete with a source guide!

One of the neat things in this book is a short segment near the end focusing on details - comparing wallpaper patterns, lampshades and upholstery styles. The book is meant to help the reader with ideas & it succeeds with every page.

Ridder's strength is her ability to mix. While reading
through, I noticed her amazing mix of multiple strong colors in a single
space, with subtle secondary palettes to balance it.

In one living
room, a rich velvet sofa sectional with Indonesian-influenced end
tables, a Turkish pillow-ottoman, and glass floor lamps. The Editor in
Chief of Architectural Digest calls her interiors "confident, artful, elegant."
